Maybe this person is related to my family member who bears the same name. He spelled his original name Yehoshua which is noted was later changed to Joseph. I have no birth or death date I only know he was married to a Bluma Brownstein who was born in 1866 and died in 1940 in I think Germany from causes unknown. There is some evidence though to implicate that maybe she died in a concentration camp, but I don't know this for a fact. They had eight children Ann, Esther, Ethel, Frances, Ida, Mae, Samuel, and Abraham (my great grandfather). Any information about him would be greatly appreciated.
